Officials: Suspected ISIS member lived freely in US for nearly two years after crossing border

U.S. officials say a 33-year-old suspected member of ISIS, Jovokhir Attoev, was arrested two weeks ago by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They say the migrant crossed the U.S.-Mexico border early in 2022, but it took authorities nearly a year to discover he was here after Uzbekistan put out an international alert. NBC News' Julia Ainsley reports.

The last thing I would trust my government telling me ; “ there is no threat to your safety”.

I thought criticizing immigration and illegal immigrants was racist and xenophobic

Because the USA 🇺🇸 can’t control its own border, there is probably well over 5000 members living there😢
